Qavali
Qavali is an Indo-Persian restaurant & whisky bar offering a range of cocktails alongside flavourful dishes. Every serving of food at Qavali has travelled the same path as qawwali music – over the mountains of Turkey and Iran, the plains of Afghanistan; and alas, the dewy fields of India and Pakistan.
